hmmm roadtrip. Good idea sir.

 

I've been there WAY TOO much haha. Eh maybe ill go to the aquarium sometime. What about woodland park zoo? I havent been to that one either.

 

I went there for the first time this past January. Its a big zoo with all kinds of animals.
No aquarium at that zoo tho. Well at least none that I saw. But of course the park is huge and would need a good 2-3hrs to walk around the whole park

 

Oh nice, zoooo, reminds me back in SoCal at San Diego Zoo. lol...good times

I'm going to have to visit the zoos around here, sounds like it's worth the walk?

 

Screw the zoo jk....Northwest Trek fellas!

The Honolulu Zoo was coo when I was there back in the day! haha

 

Im tired of northwest trek lol. I used to get in for free cause my friend worked there.

 

Fine! lol....

 

You guys heard of this issue or know anyone that experienced this? This was posted on my.is

 

After more researching...I heard that's a problem with using cheapo spacers over 15mm.

I feel better now. =)

 

I have some 30mms that aren't brand name spacers. I'll be sure to document whether or not the lug nuts become loose over time. Torqued them to 100 lbs so i think they won't be a problem.

 

I highly recommend that you get spacers that have hub centric rings... or else it will cause vibrations and other unneeded damages just because you wanted the space out the wheels closer to the fenders (which I think would be a dumb reason to cause damages) lol I am not sure how many mms you need til you need extended studs but I have 15mm H&R spacers and they come with extended studs

 

I, myself wouldnt go over 5mm spacers without extended studs. But thats me, and you can do what ever you like. Especially torque it at 100lbs lol

 

I wouldn't over torque beyond what manufacture recommends... there is a reason why there is a recommended torque load... too much will cause the stud to break... im sure all you guys have over torque something before and it broke right off and leaves you in a bigger mess. thats just my .02 cents

 

Yup, everywhere I read said to get extended studs anything over 5mm. I have Ichiba extended studs on it's way to me. =)

Has for hubcentric rings...I'm hearing that they are overrated and only really necessary for anything over 15mm.....This is from my research so far though.

 

without the hub centric ring, the wheel may not be aligned correctly making it spin unevenly causing vibrations when you drive. That is true that some cars do not require hub centric rings but my car (IS300) has a hub centric ring stock so I would think it is there for a reason. Otherwise, why would our cars come with the hub centric rings in the first place?

If you get a thin spacer, it is thin enough that the stock hub centric ring is still being used. Be very careful when using the "cheap spacers" because I have gotten some before in the past and they were unevenly machined causing vibrations. The vibrations can cause damage to wheel bearings (trust me, its not cheap to replace) and sometimes if your wheel is spinning unevenly due to uneven machined spacers and POSSIBLY from not having the hub centric ring... your wheel studs will break... I know because I have already been there and done that.
